LYRICS
Cuz I’m Famous for nothing
I love my fame
so let’s talk more about me
I got no shame,
my sex tape is coming out next week

I’m so crazy
Cuz it’s good for the ratings
so take another picture for US Weekly
calling my friends
You call ’em paparazzi

Turn up the lights, cameras a go
Get out the way
cuz I’m famous for nothing
Out every night,
My life’s a show
I’m getting paid
cuz I’m famous for nothing
I can’t act, can’t dance, can’t write, can’t sing
No, I can’t do anything
Turn up the lights, I love the dough
cuz I’m famous for nothing.

Oh oh oh oh

Cuz I’m famous for nothing

Good press, bad press
it makes no difference to me
if I go to the grocery store
I make sure to call TMZ
When I go out
I get paid to party.
I’m always on the list
champagne, red carpet
You fly coach
I only fly private

Turn up the lights, cameras are go
Get out the way
cuz I’m famous for nothing
Out every night,
My life’s a show
I’m getting paid
cuz I’m famous for nothing
I can’t act, can’t dance, can’t write, can’t sing
No, I can’t do anything
Turn up the lights, pile up the dough
cuz I’m famous for nothing.

I’m dating someone famous
it makes me even more famous it’s true
I can hear you people laughing
can’t you see the joke is really on you.
Now you follow all my ups and downs,
I’m filling up my bank account
I’m so big, I’m so important
You wanna be my friend,
just call my agent.

Say you only got fifteen minutes
and mine are almost up
I guess I’ll take the bus back home
when my spin off flops.

Turn up the lights, cameras are go
Get out the way
cuz I’m famous for nothing
Out every night,
My life’s a show
I’m getting paid
cuz I’m famous for nothing
I can’t act, can’t dance, can’t write, can’t sing
No, I can’t do anything
Turn up the lights, pile up the dough
cuz I’m famous for nothing.

I got the life, too bad they know,
Get out the way
cuz I’m famous for nothing
Out every night,
My life’s a show
I’m getting paid
cuz I’m famous for nothing
I can’t act, can’t dance, can’t write, can’t sing
No, I can’t do anything
Turn up the lights, pile up the dough
cuz I’m famous for nothing.

It’s been a long four years since we’ve heard new music from Canada’s pop-punk superstars Simple Plan. Its not that they haven’t been busy: the band embarked on a massive two-year tour that saw the Montreal five-piece perform around the world in support of 2011’s Get Your Heart On!

Then Simple Plan spent the next two years crafting one of its most diverse releases to date. Take One for the Team is the name of this new record, and it features some typically heavy Simple Plan rockers like “Opinion Overload” but also delves into other musical territories, like reggae with “Singin’ in the Rain” and straight-up pop with the Nelly collaboration “I Don’t Wanna Go to Bed.”

The title of the record says a lot about Simple Plan. The band members are all lifelong friends who understand that the success of their relationship and the success of their band has always been about working with each other to achieve a common goal. It is that obvious friendship and camaraderie that is the driving force behind Take One for the Team.
